The two, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn, allegedly threatened to “finish” the Supreme Court judges if they made any judgment against the Electoral Commission in the ongoing court case challenging the validity of the voters’ register. The two have been widely chastised over the comments.

Also the Ghana Bar Association and other Civil Society Organizations have condemned the comments. The Association of Judges and Magistrates on Monday said they were “terrified” by the comments and threats.
